After Dickinson’s appearance on Entertainment Tonight, in which the former America’s Next Top Model judge claimed she was drugged and raped after a dinner in 1982, Cosby’s attorney has released a statement on Wednesday defending his client from the accusation, reading, “Janice’s story accusing Bill Cosby of rape is a complete lie. There is documentary proof that Janice Dickinson is fabricating and lying about Bill Cosby.”

Furthermore, Cosby’s legal team insists that they did not put pressure on Dickinson and her publisher, HarperCollins, to remove any anecdote about Cosby from the model’s 2002 autobiography, No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World’s First Supermodel. According to Dickinson, she had tried to write about the alleged rape in the memoir but was stopped by Cosby’s lawyers.

“The only story she gave 12 years ago in her autobiography as well as her interview with the media was that she refused to sleep with Mr. Cosby and he blew her off,” Cosby’s lawyer, Marty Singer, says in the statement. “You can confirm with HarperCollins that she never claimed Mr. Cosby raped her, that no attorney representing Bill Cosby tried to kill the story (since there was no such story) and no one tried to prevent anything she wanted to say about Bill Cosby in her book.”

In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the supermodel accuses the Cosby Show actor of date rape during an encounter in 1982. Dickinson, now 59, recalls Cosby, now 77, giving her a glass of red wine and a pill, which she had asked for because she was suffering from menstrual cramps at the time, before she had blacked out from the evening.

“The next morning I woke up, and I wasn’t wearing my pajamas, and I remember before I passed out thinking that I had been sexually assaulted by this man,” she says. “Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was semen in between my legs.”

Dickinson also claims was pressured by Cosby and his lawyers to not write about the incident in her 2002 autobiography, No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World’s First Supermodel. According her, she removed it from her first draft to HarperCollins.

“I’m doing this because it’s the right thing to do, and it happened to me, and this is the true story,” she says about speaking out now. “I believe all the other women.”

“Stuffing feelings of rape and my unresolved issued with this incident has drove me into a life of trying to hurt myself because I didn’t have counsel and I was afraid,” she continues. “I was afraid of the consequences. I was afraid of being labeled a whore or a slut and trying to sleep my way to the top of a career that never took place.”

Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives.

The thing is, Dickinson owes the bank $300,000 big ones after it sued her in 2009 for not paying all the overdrafts in her checking account — and they won a judgment.

So she supposedly agreed to a short-term promissory note based on the fact that she had future work to pay back her debt.

Well, she wants to get that six-figure sum discharged (along with many more creditors where that came from) when she filed for personal bankruptcy in March citing $1 million in debt (and a mere $5,000 in clothing and $1,000 in jewelry to her name, not including her $19K engagement ring).

Not so fast.

The bank filed a strongly-worded objection in June urging the L.A. court to completely deny the former America’s Next Top Modeljudge’s bankruptcy discharge claiming that she “engaged in a scheme to conceal all of her income in an account not disclosed in her bankruptcy schedules” and “knowingly and fraudulently made the false oaths.”

Well, that doesn’t sound good.

In the court docs, the bank isn’t holding back when calling her out, stating that the self-professed “world’s first supermodel” testified “that her bankruptcy was caused by the fact that she was a single mother raising two children and their fathers were deadbeat dads who never paid for anything… when in truth her now adult son was raised by his father since he was six years old. The father has sole physical custody of the son and paid for all his expenses including private school tuition.”

The bank also alleges the father of Dickinson’s daughter is actually sharing the cost of private school tuition, while the paternal grandmother is paying for her college tuition.

(Dickinson has a 26-year-old son Nathan with second hubby Simon Fields and 19-year-old daughter Savannah with ex-boyfriend Michael Birnbaum.)

Also, that she testified that her corporations had no value, when City National claims, they do.

Dickinson does actually list her income as zero for 2012 and 2013 in her bankruptcy petition, but she seems to have an answer for everything, including that she was not working on any “lucrative projects” at the time, according to her court response.

As for the promissory note, the former Celebrity Rehab 4 star has an answer for that, too: She “was addicted to drugs including alcohol contributing to possible unintentional errors in recalling specific details regarding the promissory note,” per the docs.

But she denies any deceit on her part, stating there was “no scheme of any sort to conceal anything.”

And this self-proclaimed “world’s first supermodel” knows what she’s talking about when it comes to going under the knife, even admitting she “lives” for cosmetic procedures(which would explain why she’s bankrupt and $1 million in debt for unpaid taxes and plastic surgery bills.)

So… countless doctor’s office visits later, Dickinson is bestowing some of her wisdom upon the troubled starlet before she goes back for nose job No. 3.

And (for once) the sharp-tongued reality star is not making any judgments.

But the 58-year-old former America’s Next Top Model judge says Bynes’ problem is more than just skin deep.

“I think she’s crying out for help,” said Dickinson.

“She’s digging it though.”

And Dickinson digs Bynes.

“What I love about Amanda is she was a big f**king star. My daughter loves her,” she added. “And a lot of people are praying she doesn’t do anything drastic.”

http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-05-22/forget-bankruptcy-janice-dickinson-moves-into-a-new-1-4-million-pad/#commentsWed, 22 May 2013 13:30:00 +0000http://www.celebuzz.com/?p=14958947What do you do when you’re nearly $1 million in debt?

Well, if you’re Janice Dickinson you drop $1.43 million on a Beverly Hills home, of course.

The newly-bankrupt credit card happy and sharp-tongued former catwalker has moved into a brand new 2,700 square foot pad thanks to her physician fiancé Dr. Robert Gerner, who plunked down the cash for a Zen-like retreat in the hills of 90210, Celebuzz has confirmed.

The self-professed “world’s first supermodel” closed on the pricey property in December 2012 and recently moved in amidst shocking financial woes. Just how bad? The New York Post reports “her unpaid taxes date back more than a decade, with more than $500,000 due to New York state, California and the IRS.” This also includes $8,000 in unpaid doctor bills to Michael Jackson’s former dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein and visits to anti-aging doc Dr. Uzzi Reiss.

But what’s a little thing like money when you’ve got a wealthy fiancé to sweep you off your feet (and put a roof over your head).

The completely renovated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom abode is the first big joint purchase for these nearly-newlyweds and comes with stylish hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, romantic oversized fireplace and spa-like bathrooms.

The 57-year-old – who has had several high profile flings with the likes of Jack Nicholson, Mick Jagger, Bruce Willis, Warren Beatty and Sylvester Stallone – also dished new details on her shock engagement, sealed with a 5-carat diamond ring from Harry Winston.

“We are going to have a big splashy Hollywood-style wedding for our friends and family,” Dickinson added.

Nipped, tucked, reconstructed and Botoxed — just some of the many alternatives stars have taken to achieving eternal youth.

Plastic surgery continues to be a tricky topic in Hollywood, with celebs often denying having any work done to enhance their image.

While some stars remain dedicated to aging gracefully, others have learned to love cosmetic enhancements, even opening up about their decisions to go under the knife (or needle) — all for the price of beauty.

Most recently, Kelly Ripa admitted to using Botox in an interview with ELLE.

“Every seven months or so my eyelid skin rests on my eyelashes,” said the 42-year-old mom of three. (via ABC News) “So I feel like it makes my makeup artist’s life easier, and it makes my eyes look a little more open on TV, which is where I happen to work right now.”

On the other hand, stars like Kathy Griffin undergo more drastic procedures, such as liposuction, the devastating results of which she featured in her 2009 biography, Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin.

“It is embarrassing,” Griffin says. Still, she maintains, “I want women to know that this is what lipo looks like. Like, are you sure you don’t want to just work out a little more?”

“I work in an industry where if you don’t get a little nip and tuck, a lady of my age is going to end up playing Katie Holmes‘s great-grandmother in the Dawson’s Creek reunion. I’m never going to be Halle Berry, but I want to look as good as I can,” she told People in 2003.

A veteran paparazzo said on Wednesday he hoped the photographer’s death would not be used as a symbol in celebrities’ fight against paparazzi.

“What’s the difference between our guy who got killed under those circumstances and the war photographer who steps on a landmine in Afghanistan and blows himself to pieces because he wanted the photograph on the other side of road?” Frank Griffin, who co-owns the photo agency Griffin-Bauer, told the Los Angeles Times.

“The only difference is the subject matter. One is a celebrity and the other is a battle. Both young men have left behind mothers and fathers grieving and there’s no greater sadness in this world than parents who have to bury their children.”

In a statement, 18-year-old Bieber said he hoped the accident would “inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders and the photographers themselves.”

He added, “While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim.”

His comments where echoed by singer Miley Cyrus, 20, who referenced the death of Britain’s Princess Diana in a 1997 car crash while being chased by paparazzi in Paris.

“Hope this paparazzi/JB accident brings on some changes in ’13 Paparazzi are dangerous! Wasn’t Princess Di enough of a wake up call?!” Cyrus tweeted.

“This was bound to happen! Your mom teaches u when your a child not to play in the street! The chaos that comes with the paparazzi acting like fools makes it impossible for anyone to make safe choices.”

In her memoirs, No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World’s First Supermodel,and the follow-up, Everything About Meis Fake … And I’m Perfect, Dickinson describes in detail her experiences with plastic surgery, anorexia, bulimia, alcoholism and a sexually abusive father.

But now she claims to have found true happiness later in life after enduring a string of heartbreaks along the way.

“Look, I’m really happy and content with Robert and we plan to have a big, big, celebrity-style wedding for our family and friends next year,” she gushed.

Following his Thanksgiving day throw-down with ex-girlfriend Halle Berry‘s fianceé Olivier Martinez, Aubry was hospitalized with a fractured rib, bruises to the face and cuts that required stitches. And for the French-Canadian model, those injuries carry career consequences.

“He will have to take some time off from modeling, so, that his face heals,” former supermodel Janice Dickinson told Celebuzz of Wilhelmina model Aubry, who is one of the top-earning males in the industry. “I feel bad because he got a savage beating and nobody deserves that.”

In the aftermath of the brutal brawl, Aubry was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. Berry was awarded an emergency restraining order against her ex, requiring him to stay 100 years away from the actress, their 4-year-old daughter Nahla and Martinez. Though he claimed Martinez attacked him first in the fight, Aubry has now been labeled the aggressor in the showdown outside of Berry’s Hollywood home on Nov. 22, according to a police report.

Still, Dickinson feels for all Aubry is facing. “I have sympathy for Gabriel Aubry. He is just trying so see his daughter and live his life,” the former America’s Next Top Model judge said. “I do not believe that it makes [Aubry] a bad guy.” And after seeing Aubry’s battered face following the brutal scuffle, Dickinson is placing blame for the damage done: “I think that Martinez should be jailed after that attack.”

Since splitting in 2010, Berry and Aubry have shared custody of Nahla. But any cordiality between the exes turned contentious after Berry sought the court’s permission to move their daughter to Paris, France, where the actress would live with her France native fiancé — a request which the judge denied.

“It was not fair that they wanted to take [his daughter Nahla] to another country away from her father,” explained Dickinson. “I think at this point that they all need therapy and the focus should be on the child, because nobody wants her to suffer emotionally because of all of this.”

Meanwhile, Aubry will have to wait for his moneymaker to make a full recovery before returning to his illustrative career, which has seen him model for Valentino, Versace, Calvin Klein and DKNY among others. “Hopefully, his face will heal,” Dickinson said. “The guy was a top male model within the industry.”

Even in her ’50s, former supermodel Janice Dickinson is flaunting her beach bod! The Oxygen star strutted her stuff on the beaches of Malibu over 4th of July, stepping out in an itty bitty red and orange bikini.

What do you think about Janice showing off her muscular physique at age 56? Is there an age limit to wearing bikinis? Sound off in the comments section!

Janice’s body isn’t the only thing looking young in her life!

The TV personality has been dating a man less than twice her age. Janice is currently with 32-year-old British writer David Blakely, though he was not on hand for her beach day.

Several high-profile patients gathered in Los Angeles Tuesday night for a candlelight vigil in remembrance of Dr. Ryan, 50, who died in a car crash Monday after reportedly Tweeting while driving.

“As we all know, [Frank] was larger than life,” Dickinson told People. “He was the Bentley of plastic surgeons. He fixed people, but from the inside out. He loved women, he loved people.”

Melissa Rivers said Dickinson tried to persuade her to date Dr. Ryan, who performed procedures on her.

“He didn’t care who you were or where you were in your career – he was kind,” she said.

Montag, who revamped her entire appearance with 10 procedures from Dr. Ryan last year, took to Twitter to mourn the man she called an “angel” who changed her life:

I am devastated to hear the news of Dr. Frank Ryan’s death. He was the most amazing person I have ever known… He was the most brilliant talented surgeon who will ever exist. Dr. Frank Ryan changed the world.

Kendra Wilkinson also lamented Dr. Ryan’s death via Twitter, saying he was a “great friend.”

KISS rocker Gene Simmons has yet to comment on Ryan’s death. He let the cameras of his A&E reality show, Gene Simmons: Family Jewels, film his plastic surgery with the doctor. Watch the clip here:

Dr. Ryan’s ex-girlfriend, Charmaine Blake, told People that investigators informed the Ryan family that the surgeon was “texting while driving and…accidentally went over the cliff” on the Pacific Coast Highway. Dr. Ryan’s dog, Jill, survived the crash.

VH1 has revealed the participants for its latest round of detox at the Pasadena Recovery Center, and its quite the mixed bag of substance abusers. Along with previously revealed participant Jeremy London, the Party of Five actor who earlier this year claimed to have been abducted and forced to smoke drugs at gunpoint, the season will feature Laguna Beach vet and multiple DUI arrestee Jason Wahler; alleged Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel; former teen heartthrob Leif Garrett (most recently busted for heroin possession in February); socialite Jason Davis; former America’s Next Top Model judge Janice Dickinson; and Frankie Lons, mother of singer Keyshia Cole.

No word on who will come out on top in this televised race to recovery, but monetarily, Rachel Uchitel already seems to be the clear winner; according to TMZ, Rachel—who reportedly hopes to kick a pill habit while on the series—will be collecting $500,000 for her troubles, after the show’s producers agreed to double their offer when she initially declined.

Are you looking forward to the new season of Celebrity Rehab? Anybody you think they unfairly left out? Let us know in the comments section.

Janice Dickinson has been slapped with a lawsuit for approximately $34k for ignoring another lawsuit filed against her last year.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Dickinson failed to respond to a lawsuit filed against her by City National Bank, in which they claimed she only paid back a small portion of a $275,000 loan they gave her in September 2008.

Now more papers have been filed by CNB at L.A. County Superior Court last week, saying that Janice needs to pay back the balance plus interest and attorney fees totaling around $304,449.03.

Janice Dickinson had quite an eventful night at Hollywood’s Nobu restaurant on Wednesday evening. After perhaps imbibing a few too many drinks, the supermodel got into a hilarious scuffle with the waiting photographers. She even attempted to hit them with her scarf!

Here she is terrifying children into never, ever approaching a gumball machine again.

Either that, or she’s gnawing on a Smurf.

Dickinson, 53, was shopping on the Fame Stroll, aka Los Angeles’ Robertson Boulevard, when she stopped to amuse the paparazzi.

She’s reportedly still “running” the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, and the reality show concerning its trials and tribulations was on for four seasons on the Oxygen Network.

Plastic surgery supporter Janice, closed down the L.A. branch of her agency in the last episode of the series, and is reportedly looking to re-open it as a “boutique Parisian agency that will only represent true supermodels,” according to her blog.

Ford better watch out!

Granted, her show might not have had the longest television run ever, but that’s four seasons’ worth of cash in her Louis Vuitton bag to open “Paris” in New York!

In the meantime, check out this video of Janice goofing with the paps along Robertson Boulevard, courtesy of the fine people at Hollywood.tv:

And the world breathed a sigh of relief that the maniacal Dickinson took the wheel.

Grubman is well-known for a 2001 incident in which she ploughed through a crowd of bystanders in front of an East Hampton nightclub in an SUV.

Janice can appreciate that kind of mayhem. She’s one of Hollywood’s more recognizable loose cannons.

Lizzie, who is a former publicist turned manager, also represents Shanna Moakler. Who is also known for being something of a violent offender. Just ask Kim Kardashian.
